HOW THEY LIE.

Last week notice was posted in a brok-
millions of paper had gone to protest ia
Wichita and that the place had collapsed
Several eastern papers repeated the lie. 1t
all comes from fight being made against
Wichita by envious interests. The agents
of Dun d Co. and of Bradstreet's made
a thorough investigation of the matter and
reported Saturday to their respective firms
that there was not a word of truth in it.,
and that no town could be in a more flat
tering financial condition. The Associ-
ated Press agent also sent out
to the papers of the country Sun
day morning the following statement:
WICHITA, June As number of
newspapers throughout the country have
circulated untrue reports concerning the
real estate market here, together with the
assertion that various large amounts of
real estate paper have gone TO protest at
banks, the board of trade, after a through
investigation, desires to officially refute
any and all such statements. The banks
all report not a siIgle protest of real estate
paper and less of any kind than ayear ago.
The weekly bank clearances show steady
increases, during the past five or six weeks
which are greatly in excess of correspond
ing periods of last year. Money is much
more plentiful and easier than year ago.
The court records show that no foreclosure
proceedings are being instituted and the
total for the past year was only six for the
whole of sedgwick county and they were
not on city property.

WICHITA AND TOPEKA.
Comparisons if Odious are None the
Less Valuable.

| To the Eagle.
TOPEKA, June 4th, 1887.
Topeka is a lively, prosperous city.
There's no question about that, she is
growing rapidly too. Not with the aston.
ishing and phenomenal growth that WITCH
tia enjoys, but with steady, substantial
growth that is quite abreast of the general
growth and prosperity of the state. After
looking this city over and comparing it
with Wichita the writer is unable to AL
rive at any positive conclusion as to which
of the two places is really the larger; but
there can be no doubt of the fact that while
Topeka's growth is rapid and substantial
as above stated. it does not near come up
with that of Wichita, and year or two
m ore at the present rate will settle, beyond
any possibility of doubt, the question as to
| which of the two places can claim the fore
most rank among the cities of Kansas.
While it is at present question rs to
which Of the two places can rightfally
claim the greatest number of inhabitants
there can be no doubt concerning the fact
that Wichita is far in the lead of Topeka
in the size and metropolitan appearance Of
her buildings. In fact, the inferiority of
the business blocks here as
compared with those of our city is the first
thing that strikes Wichita man on his ar
rival here. And what is still worse for this
place, in comparison with Wichita, is the
fact that in the number of brick structures
for business purposes, now in course of
erection, Wichita ournumbers Topeka at
least five to one.
But while Wichita is making such more
rapid strides in the direction of metropoli-
tan greatness there are few points in
which Topeka is still in the lead. The
first and greatest point to be noted in favor
of Topeka in making comparison be-
tween the two places is in the fact that the
latter is comparatively clean and well
drained city. The smells that arise from
the stagnant cutters and open sewers of
Wichita, and which occasion so much I'M
favorable comment from both residents
and visitors in our city. are not found
here.
Among the improvements to be observed
here are the paving of Kansas avenue and
Jackson street, which is being rapidly
pushed; the building of motor lines-rapid
transit lines they are called here; and the
introduction of the incandescent electric
light, which has largely taken the place of
gas, both on the street corners and in the
hotels and business houses.
The prohibitory law seems to be very
rigidly enforced here. As far as the writer
can ascertain there are neither open joints
nor key rooms" in this city; the druggists
sell only in conformity with the law. AS
matter of fact there is considerable drink
ing done here, as might be expected; but
the ''booze' is very largely brought from
Kansas City by the case or in bottles and

THE DROWNING OF FRESHMAN.
70 the Editor of the Eagle,

To the Editor of the Eagle.
DERBY, Kan, June 4.
In a brief communication this evening,
it falls to my sad lot to notice one of the
most melancholy incidents thus far con-
nected with the history of our hitherto
quiet and happy little town and vicinity.
About 5 o'clock last evening, one of our
estimable young men and useful fellow
citizens, James r. Fleshman, was drown
ed in the Arkansas, short distance above
this place in an effort to rescue some hogs
that had fallen over an enbankment into
the angry stream, and carried down and
lodged in small Island below.
The lamented boy attempted to swim
across the swollen turbulent current to the
point referred to, and seeing that he was
being drifted below to the junction Of two
violent currents, and becoming according
to the universal opinion, cramped, he cried
for help then, put forth vigorous effort,
as it were, engaged briefly in death strug
gle aga inst the tide for the lower end of
the island, (of course failed then turned
with forlorn hope to the bank from
whence he started, piteously appealing to
his co mrade, the gallant young William
High, for assistance, the only aid in reach),
who met him with pole
about sixty feet from the shore,
and bravely bore the unfortunate man to
within ten or twelve feet of the bank, when
the pole broke, and, being apparently par
alyZed went down to rise no more, and
tie noble young High being completely ex
hausted was called upon to realize the hor-
rors of the situation alone, being wholly
unable to afford further relief. Yesterday
evening, last night and today has been al
most exclusively devoted to diligent
search for his body, sorrowing friends and
weeping relatives doing everything in their
power to that end, but so far have been
unsuccessful. For one SO universally pop
ular, loved wherever known and under
stood, to be so ruthlessly taken away from
us, comes as the most bligbting, whitening
stroke, and wraps the entire neighborhood
in the deepest mourning, be assured Just
Us close the news comes in that his body
was seen between here and Mulvane about
O'Clock p n, tleating down the river.

TIMOTHY COOP.

From the Juction City Union.
Timothy Coop, the wealthy Englishman,
who died last month at Wichita, and
whose son in-law and grand daughter, Mr..
and Miss Marsden visited Junction City this
week, had share in fact in 1865, in which
every Kansan will be interested. When
the news of the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln reached Europe, ne communities
were more profoundly grieved and sympa-
thetic than those of the manufacturing
towns of Lancashire, whose people had suf
fered so much from the war. Great mass
meetings were held and resolutions of the
people were passed, expressing feelings that
were at once intense and energetic. Mr..
Coop, who was rising manufacturer at
Wigan, in that county, was called to pre-
side over what was probably the largest
meeting ever held in the public hall of that
town. His wife (who is since dead had
worn mourning from the receipt
of the news. Mr.. Coop as
chairman, had little to do but express
his thorough sympathy with the objects
of the m Getting. The main resolution was
sympathy with the American nation in
their bereavement and trial, and was moved
by the secretary of a wealthy manufacture
ing corporation and seconded by an Episco-
pal clergyman. The second resolution was
of sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln and her
family, and was moved by one who is now
a citizen of this place and seconded by a
working day-laborer.
When congress printed the volume of re-
solutions and condolences that came from
abroad, the Wigan resolutions were in
cerporated therein and the signature of T.
Coop may be seen thereto attached as
chairman of that meeting. That was the
beginning of an active interest in American
affairs which lasted to his death, led him
to make frequent visits to this country,
give money to its colleges, and invest con-
siderable of his means in Kansas and be-
come resident of our state.

o stately stream, so swiftly thou dost run;
That soon thy waters reach the distant sea,
Thou contest from the mountains, there

Thou from them truly seems as 'twere to

Then on thy shore, perhaps warrior bold
Then thou went free, for all the land was
How changed to thee the present time must
seem;
Now cities great and small are On thy

Instead of being free, o, rapid stream,
Thou'rt crossed, and bound, and held, as

New York Commercial Advertiser:
There are laws to regulate immigration, but
they are either insufficient or imperfectly
enforced, or both. Immigrants the
proper character are still welcome, as they
always have been, but the immigration of
recent years, while increasing, if anything,
in quantity, has deteriorated in quality.
To this fact we owe the presence here of
the anarchists and socialists who are dis
turbing our industries, the vast influx of
foreign criminals of late, and the porten-
tious increase in the rolls of our asylums
and other charitable institutions Far too
large proportion of the immigration n ow-
adays consists of the very scum of Europe.

VALLEY CENTER, June 6, 1887.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
We are having an abundance of rain and
farmers are correspondingly happy.
Memorial services were appropriately OBJ
served at this place, and large and appre-
ciative audience listened to the eloquent
Grafton delivered by Rev. A. II. Parker, OF
Garden Plain.
Our boom is still alive and active, and
though not so rampant as month ago the
prospects of Valley Center were never
brighter.
Some good residences are building,
among them that of II. L. Dewing, the
finest in the city. Others are under con-
tract
The Midland has been graded through
the city, and trains will be run to this
place some time this month.
The right-of- way for the motor line has
been securnd and work will soon begin.
We expect to ride to Wichita on this line
within sixty days.
Themoter line is our great boomer, and
we expect it to double our present popula-
ton inside of two years.
Our people are working together for the
best interests of the city, and we have only
one or two kickers in the camp, but they
are chronics and no attention is paid to
them.
Speaking about kickers, reminds me that
there are about twenty subscribers to the
Daily EAGLE, making vigorous kick at
their inability to receive the same on the
morning of issue but instead as an even
ing paper.
About once a week we are agreeably sur
prised upon receiving it in the morning.
Yours. Don K.

A Philadelphia paper hopefully remarks,
''Mr. Keely made some very successful ex-
periments with his motor yesterday. He
used wire instead of hollow tube by
which to convey the force, thereby explcd-
ing the compressed air theory" This is
nothing new. Mr. Keely during the past
ten years has pulled more wires to com
pcress cash than any motor man in the
country.
